On the 4th, the Mapo Police Station in Seoul announced that they had applied for an arrest warrant for Mr. A on charges including trespassing in a shared building and damaging public property to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office the previous day.

Mr. A broke into the Western District Court and damaged the court's glass windows with a fire extinguisher after an arrest warrant was issued for President Yoon Seok-yeol on the 19th of last month.

The person presumed to be Mr. A was seen wearing a green jumper and spraying a fire extinguisher at the police officers blocking the main gate of the court.

There were suspicions that Mr. A might have been a reporter from a broadcasting company, but this was confirmed to be untrue.
